This study reports experimental test results on a solar-pumped laser that utilizes composite YAG/Ce:Nd:YAG/YAG/rod with a diameter of 3 mm. We measured an output power of 8.5 W with optical-to-optical conversion efficiency of 1.43% in multimode operation when the laser was exposed to an incoming solar power of 593 W at an irradiance of |
